The Temasek-backed Dr. Agarwal’s currently runs 91 hospitals, with a presence in African nations such as Zambia, Ghana and Mauritius, and an expanding footprint in India. It recently partnered with the Advanced Eye Institute in Navi Mumbai to enter the Mumbai market.

Dr Agarwal’s Healthcare (DAH) has raised Rs 270 crore investment from Temasek, in primary for an undisclosed minority stake. The monies will be used to expand the geographical footprint of the eye care chain, doubling in hospitals to 150 in 5 years.

Inaugurating the new centre, Patnaik said, “I am confident that the new centre will spread the joy of better vision to a larger number of patients across the region and improve the eye care delivery system in the city.”
